Baltimore City Installs Electric Car Chargers In Nine Garages

Baltimore City has installed electric car chargers in nine city-owned garages, an initiative funded by a $134,000 state grant.

Each charger can support two electric vehicles, and the cityâ¿¿s Parking Authority has designated 18 parking spaces between the nine garages for electric vehicles. Drivers can use the chargers for free when they pay to park in the garages.

The installation was funded by a $134,366 grant from the Maryland Energy Administration. City officials say the chargers are in line with its Baltimore Sustainability Plan and the stateâ¿¿s EmPower Maryland initiative.

In March, a garage at the Fitzgerald apartment building near the University of Baltimore was the first garage in the city to install an electric car charger.
